I dont want to compare SLR and a Leica M6. This is not the same concept. This
is not the same use too.
On the other hand, in his concept, the M6 has gap :

-Loading the film
-Flash TTL. The Lecaistes dislike fill in. It is understandable because the
M6 can't make an easy fill in.
Fill in is beautifull, if you use the good mix, between Flash light and
natural light.
-Exposure. The exposure band (a white circle on the shutter) of the M6 is
very very accurate. A specular reflection, and your are under-exposed. This
virtual circle is not the same when you change your lens and the frames are
an approximation. The solution, an hand exposure meter ?
